I just tried it on my old SL-C860 (running Cacko 1.23), don't particular need it since I use SciTE on my OpenBSD SL-C3000 now but this was just the sort of thing I wanted at one time for Qtopia.

it doesn't seem to give the highlighting or code folding... are the lexers specifically omitted or installed from another package?

Also one small thing is that it doesn't install an .desktop file.

Oops - left the .desktop file out of the IPK. New version (1.0.1) uploaded now (exactly the same, but it now installs the missing .desktop file).

The lexer's for C/C++ and JavaScript are built in (auto-selected based on file extension). I left out the others to reduce the size of the binary (I didn't need them). I guess I can do a build with the others included if there's any demand.

The code folding is turned off by default - turn it on by selecting the menu option View->Folding.

I didn't build in a lot of the lexers for languages that Scintilla supports to cut down on the binary size of SimpleEdit (small size == faster loading). But as people have asked for it - I've enabled some of the extra languages. A new version (1.0.2) is now available which supports syntax highlighting for the following languages:Perl (*.pl)Python (*.py)HTML (*.htm,*.html)Java (*.java)C/C++ (*.c,*.cc,*.cpp,*.h,*.cxx)JavaScript (*.js)

Guess that sorts everyone out now......

Almost... you may want to check the CONTROL file.. the package insists on being renamed to simple-edit_arm.ipk now.

Also it should be noted that the lexers only become active when you actually load a file... it may be nice to select lexers when the file is saved and possibly allow a manual selection so the lexers are active when you are in the first edit session.

Currently to get the lexers active on your first edit session you must save the file, close it and re-open it.

Aside from that yes, it's a great little editor - Closer and closer to a version of qscite every day.

when I install the 1.0.2 package I can only start SimpleEdit from command line or from the QT / Applications menu, not from the Home / Application tab.The icon created on the application tab has no name and produces an error message: "No application is defined for this type of document. Type is Applictions."

If I start it from the menu, it starts in QVGA mode.

If I edit the .desktop file manually and add the lineDisplay = 640x480/144dpi,480x640/144dpiI can at least start it in VGA landscape mode. But still, the icon on the Application tab is not okay...

Otherwise: A very, very nice editor it seems. Went up on my top three editors list to second item (first one is pico for command line :-)

Don't know if this is too much to ask, but could you recompile again and ad support for PHP?
